What does it take to sell a $24 million waterfront mansion in the Hamptons in just two weeks? A village, according to Compass’ Matt Breitenbach. “We put together a fantastic marketing deck focused on digital media with multiple short-form videos and other innovative marketing strategies,” he says of that five-bedroom home at 180 Pointe Mecox Lane in Bridgehampton. “We also did massive outreach to agents and buyers and had a huge launch party for the listing with over 100 people. I was proud of the team’s effort to get the house sold. A big part of what I pitch clients on is the ability for my team to work as a cohesive unit, not a bunch of individual agents going in different directions.” Breitenbach’s team has closed $117.4 million in sales over 12 months, setting two new records in Montauk in the process. He credits social media for some of that success, posting behind-the-hedges looks at the area’s most exclusive properties on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and his own podcast and video series BAT Disrupt. Breitenbach — whose clients have included Jason Kidd, Dave Portnoy, Meek Mill and DJ Khaled — says it’s no wonder why buyer demand is at an all-time high on the East End. “Prices have increased, and inventory has continued to stay low,” says Breitenbach. “The blessing and the curse of the Hamptons market is that buyer demand is at an all-time high — and higher than I have ever seen in my almost 20-year career selling homes in the Hamptons. The problem is everyone loves the Hamptons too much.”
